Imagine you are on the track at the running of the bulls, 200m ahead of where the bulls are let out. A cannon goes off, the bulls have been let loose! I run like the wind. The noise of the crowd is deafening. Somehow the noise becomes louder, I know it’s the bulls. I round a corner and put my back against the wall. At this exact time, six bulls, all the size of a Toyota Hilux come crashing into the opposite barrier. Five bulls get up and continue running. One bull stands up gingerly and I lock with its raging eyes. My body does not respond to my fear. I am a statue against a wall waiting to be skewered. Another runner runs between the bull and me and breaks its gaze. It chases him. I survive. I continue to run.
